Test automation – Don’t try to build Rome in a day

Test automation is often perceived as ‘expensive’, ‘costly’ or ‘difficult’… but it shouldn’t be. There is a lot of automation software that is easy to learn, cheap or even free to use.

Nowadays, organizations are working more and more Agile, often through Scrum – which means that the rate of deployments are going up and so is the frequency of Regression Testing. In the first two or three sprints, it’s rather easy to keep up with the delivery rate of new features. This is because the product is still relatively small, and there isn’t much requirement for Regression Testing.
